  • Best password app I have ever found

    I have been using this app, or its predecessors, for maybe 20 years. Maybe somewhat less (whenever it initially was released to the public). I have experimented with others on rare occasions over all these years, but always return to this within a few days. Give yourself a few days of playing with it to master it and you’ll be sold on it. I never review apps, but I felt the need to today. Great app, I promise!

  • OneDrive and Google Drive Integration Please?

    I really like Password Safe and have been using it for years. One of the things I’ve always liked is the ability to use DropBox and keep my safe synced on many devices. I have it synced to two phones, two iPads and three computers. Unfortunately, DropBox’s free version only allows syncing with three devices. Paying $10 per month for the paid version is too expensive. Please develop the ability to integrate with OneDrive and Google Drive so I can kick DropBox to the curb!

  • SAFE Passwords!!!

    I have used PW Safe since 2015 or so, and it is a great application to secure numerous passcodes for numerous websites and other miscellaneous accounts and things that need to be secured, while being ready and available anywhere.

    Easy to use, local or cloud based, PW Safe understands finger print identification or a master password to gain entry to its database.

    I am truly impressed by the simplicity and utility. Buy it! You will love it.

  • Tech support was helpful- user since 2013

    Ive been using this app on multiple devices for a very long time. Today, for the first time- I got locked out of my account on my phone. I went to another device and was able to get in so I know it wasn’t because my password was wrong.

    I contacted tech support and they got back to me within a couple of hours. It worked. Still my favorite program. Just remember to backup your information often to a pdf or get a backup program just in case.

  • Dropbox, 3 device limit

    Ugh... I’ve been happily using Password Safe for several years now, with the $2.99 Dropbox support. Used Dropbox to share .psafe3 files between multiple iPhones/iPads for my wife and myself.
    Just discovered that as of March 2019, Dropbox Basic (free) has changed to 3 device limit. Tried to add a new iPad, but Dropbox forced me to disconnect all but 3 of my devices.

    I’ve been able to successfully use iCloud sharing of the .psafe3 files between my own and my wife’s account. This requires the 200GB, $2.99/month Apple iCloud storage plan. Used the Apple File Manager app to configure file sharing.

  • Paying user

    Don’t buy the app and especially don’t purchase the paid storage. I have had nothing but trouble getting into the app with my master password several times when I needed it most, then for whatever reason hours later it starts working again. Tried everything the internet suggested and sent an email but receive no response. Please read what others are saying and don’t just take my word before buying.

  • Inexpensive & effective

    I’ve used this app for several years, nearly flawlessly & 2 days ago it suddenly quit showing my safes. Today I rec’d an email from tech support which provided the steps to restore the safes (somehow they were deleted in iCloud). I can breathe again knowing my nearly 300 pws aren’t lost. But it would be nice if the developer was more prompt in responding to support requests.

  • Annoyed beyond belief

    I kept getting this quirk where if I opened file from google drive offline or not it would whack the psafe file(0 byte length) so I would have to restore from previous version. As of today the app just touches the file and does something weird, it not only destroyed the file but also the metadata so I can’t restore the previous version. Luckily the desktop version had created Ibak so now I have something. No way to get this app to work on iOS. Guess I’ll have to switch to dashlane, or last pass this is a sad day for me.

  • Wow

    Edit: They are not as transparent as I thought they state being open source when in reality they aren’t truly open sourced and on top of that they won’t respond as to why there is analytics within an offline password app! I mean this is an offline password app why should it be connecting to the internet unless you choose to use one of syncing solutions they have?!?! Very sketchy in my honest opinion!

    Just want to say this is way better and way more secure than most of the password apps out there! This one has the convince and piece of mind of having the chance to store your passwords offline while still having an appealing interface to look at... many of the offline password keepers have a very dated and just plain terrible UI! So glad to have found this keep up the good work dev! Thanks so much please never quit updating ;)

  • Love it, but...

    I have hundreds of passwords in password safe and was really excited to see the auto fill integration with IOS. Unfortunately it doesn’t work well. When I attempt to use auto fill, I need to use Touch ID followed by entering my safe password. This negates any convenience that auto fill might bring.

    Also the Touch ID on my safe now disables every night. This version is less convenient than the last.

    The developers work hard and I have hope that these annoyances will get ironed out.
